Re: Beowulf cluster (was: parallel clusters of single cpu boxes)
hi kevin...
wow... cool... haven't seen or heard of nbd...but....
if it does the trick.... humm maybe the time is here for
cheap-easily accessible clusters for high volume web/email servers ??
-- only problem now is time to spend to build up the clusters
and pull the (ethernet or power0 plugs on a few boxes and see if it
keeps working...
thanx
